Why yes, that is the delicious Chris Pine on the cover of this month's Details magazine. And yes, he is wearing a pair of buttery, buttock-hugging, Versace leather pants. (And no, we haven't the faintest idea why our copy of the mag is covered in ladydrool. Nope. Not a clue.)

Chris, who was one of last year's biggest breakout actors thanks to his energetic portrayal of Captain Kirk in "Star Trek," sat down with Details for an interview about what's next in his career. It's clear right away that he takes his work seriously; not content to just ride the action-hero wave, he kept busy this summer with a back-breaking stage role in the darkly funny play "The Lieutenant of Inishmore."

That's "back-breaking" in the literal sense, by the way. Pine has a litany of injuries suffered while playing the physically demanding role, telling the interviewer, "My body's all sorts of f--ked-up. I tore my groin, I pulled my neck and my glute, tweaked my rhomboid, sprained my f--king sacrum."

We'll be honest, we don't usually need much provocation to write a story (or post a dreamy, dreamy picture) of "Star Trek" leading man Chris Pine, but today is an extra-special day seeing as it's the hottie's 30th birthday! So let's say it all together: Happy birthday, Chris!

The only small rain cloud threatening this otherwise sunny day is the realization I had a few minutes ago that we have to wait another TWO YEARS until Chris takes back the helm of the USS Enterprise as Captain James T. Kirk in the "Star Trek" sequel. If you want to mark the 2012 calendar you have yet to buy, the official release is June 29, 2012.

A couple weeks after "Star Trek" opened with a $75 million first weekend and Chris Pine went from largely unknown actor to global superstar, the 29-year-old actor found himself a target of the paparazzi, who convinced there was something going on between him and "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge.

A couple weeks ago, MTV News honored Chris as one of the people we're most thankful for in 2009, and during a wide-ranging conversation about the "Trek" franchise and the future of his career, talk inevitably turned to one thing Chris ain't so happy about in 2009: those pesky photogs that targeted him earlier in the year.

The year is coming to a close and it’s that time for magazines to decide who they want to cover their coveted year end issues. And for GQ, Chris Pine was their perfect choice as he poses comfortably with his baby blue eyes complimenting his blue suit on the cover of their December issue. Call it a good stylist or maybe just a coincidence. In the issue, the “Breakout of The Year” actor, talks about growing up, how he got into acting and his hesitating choice to jump on ship for the latest installment of the "Star Trek" franchise.

While you may have seen him in various roles throughout the past years including "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" and "Smokin’ Aces," it’s almost shocking how Chris came into acting. “Basically, I was always looking to find a group of friends, and theater provided that,” he revealed to GQ.

Welcome back to Dress Like A Movie Star Week here on Hollywood Crush. We're continuing to bring you Halloween costume ideas inspired by some of the most outrageous, colorful and downright awesome characters on the big screen in 2009. We know your wallets aren't exactly being filled by a money tree in your backyards these days, so we're going to try our darndest to keep these costume ideas easy to create and easy on your bank account! Let the trick and treating begin!

We were green with envy when Rachel Nichols got to have a quick romp with the out-of-this-world hottie Chris Pine in this summer’s mega-hit "Star Trek." So, while Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Nyota (Zoe Saldana) may have been the intergalactic couple to make it work despite some interplanetary meanies trying to come between them, we think bad boy Capt. James Kirk (Chris) and Star Fleet cadet Gailia (Rachel) will make for far more interesting, not to mention eye-catching, couples costume (or solo, we don’t judge!) this Halloween.

We're not going to have you recreate your own Vulcan (though, hats off to you if you can pull that off!), but we so have some helpful hints (after the jump) to best capture the look of Kirk and Gailia. We’ve tried to make them as budget-friendly as possible (heck, times are probably tough on the USS Enterprise) and cool enough that you’ll (live long and) prosper this October 31st.
